 Greenbelt Mall by Wild_Orchid Vist the trendy and upmarket Greenbelt area. There are many shops, restaurants and cafes and a number of interesting night spots with live bands at night. It is also within walking distance of the major shopping malls such as Glorietta Mall, Rustams Department Store and ShoeMart. Leave a Comment Address: GreenBelt Area

The Greenbelt area consists of Ayala Museum, La Tasca, Greenbelt Park, Greenbelt Mall and Greenbelt Square. It is where the young and trendy "Manilenos" go to meet friends, to catch a movie, have a cup of gourmet coffee or for a drink, or to browse in the specialty shops. Update:The premier of Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull was being premiered here in May 2008. The Greenbelt Park (which was still being built when I was there) is located right next to the Mall, and the architecture of the mall is clean, uncluttered and modern, and care has been taken to ensure that it blends well with its green surroundings, making it a greenbelt, right in the centre of Makati city! A place to people watch - go there in your latest fashions, to see and be seen! Leave a Comment Address: GreenBelt AreaDirections: On Makati Avenue, just off Ayala Avenue. Nearby to Shangrila Hotel and The Peninsula Manila. Also within walking distance of Ayala Center bus terminal. Use the elevated pedestrian walkways for a more pleasant experience!

by gypsysoul73 Finally, a clean and worthwhile outdoor market in Makati ! The Salcedo Market is only open on Saturdays from 7 am until 2 pm. It is located right smack in the center, on what serves as a parking lot on other days. Shop for fresh produce, orgranic herbs, fruits and vegetables, fresh seafood, homemade bread, flowers, plants, native delicacies from different parts of the country, specialties from popular restaurants in the area, fresh milk and yogurt, kettle corn cooked on the spot, paella etc. It is also a place to see and be seen, where friends gather to shop, eat or just to chat . Tables are set up under tents so you can enjoy a nice lunch. Try the Ineng's barbecue! Yum! Leave a Comment

 Makati on a late January afternoon by AKtravelers If you get tired of the dirt and grime of downtown Manila, head to Makati, whose gleaming malls, clean streets and high-rises cater to upper class Manila (and anyone else who can get there). In the Glorieta Mall, you'll see streams of people who have not intention of shopping but just want some place to hang out away from the heat. We went to the Ayala Museum, where they had a competitive contemproray art show from all of the East Asian nations (we were most impressed with Mongolia, the Philippines and South Korea). We grabbed a beer aty the Hard Rock Cafe where we observed a birthday party for a 7=year-old that looked as expensive as a wedding in the States. And, of course, we had a Starbuck's iced coffee -- yum! Leave a Comment

 Entering Makati CBD by Ramonq Makati is the financial district of Metro-Manila. One cannot be unimpressed by the high-rises that puncture the sky in this part of Manila. This is where money is made and spent in the Philippines. The architectural style is decidedly post-modern with lots of glass and chrome. Its denizens are worldly and sophisticated, who unashamedly call themselves yuppies. Makati CBD is worlds away from the shanty towns that dot the Manila landscape. Some of its elitist neighbourhoods, ironically called "villages", are so exclusive that guards secure their main entrances. Many of the county's embassies are located in these so-called villages. The most prestigious is Forbes Park. Other areas of Metro-Manila are trying to replicate the success of Makati. Most notable is Alabang in the city's south and Ortigas in the east.

by gypsysoul73 Manila has some of the best spas. And pampering myself is a luxury I treat myself to once in a while. Hey, I work hard and I play harder, I deserve it! :D All that touring, and shopping will surely take it's toll on your body. Reward yourself with some quiet time and let a professional work her magic on you. My favorite spa is called "The Spa" . Yeah, not very imaginative , but wow, this is a piece of heaven on earth. There are lots of other spas to choose from, and usualy the bigger hotels have their own. Check out the link below for a list of some spas in Manila. Pick your bliss: Swedish, Shiatsu or Deep Tissue Massage Twin Massage - where you have 2 therapists massaging you at the same time, oooh!, double the pleasure! Aromatherapy Massage Different kinds of Facials Indian Head Massage Hair and Scalp Treatments Javanese Royal Bath Seaweed Treatments Mud Body Wrap Indian Ayurvedic Treatments, Various foot therapies and treatments And the list goes on and on and on.... What I love about this place is that they give you a robe, towel, slippers and free access to the sauna, shower and jacuzzi as well! Leave a Comment

by Djinn76 In Makati, nothing (except maybe the weather) really point to the fact you are in Asia. This is quite similar to any business district in any eastern city : huge malls and skyscrapers all over the place. All the money spent here is a real contrast with the nearby townships you could see when coming from the airport!! Leave a Comment
